With her face reflected in a mirror, Coy Mathis, left, a transgender girl, plays with her sister, Auri, 2, center, at their home in Fountain, Colo., on Monday, Feb. 25, 2013. Coy's parents are suing the Fountain-Fort Carson School District 8 after she was denied access to a girl's bathroom at her elementary school. Her mother, Kathryn Mathis, says, "… It's really about being accepted. What's happening now - they will call you a girl but you're not really a girl, so you don't get to act like one. And that's incredibly damaging." The school district has declined to comment on an ongoing case. (AP Photo/Brennan Linsley)
